Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches Perfect for Afternoon Snack #TysonGoodness #CBias

My kids seem to be always hungry and being both girls, I'm surprised as I always heard that is how boys are.  They are regular eating machines and regularly snack.  My eight year old has epilepsy so eating and drinking are vital to help offset seizures.  For this reason, I like to be able to have something quick to make either through the afternoon or evening.  This is where I just found out about Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches.  We are regular buyers of the various Tyson products as it's my favorite brand of chicken and in fact, it's the only brand I ever purchase due to the quality, variety and price.  






The girls like small sandwiches as they are easier to hold and probably easier to eat than an adult sized sandwich.  Since they both like chicken and sandwiches, it was ideal.  My youngest wanted to make her own.  She helped with getting them on the plate to microwave.  I'm a sometimes lazy parent and use paper plates so this was an easy task!  After popping in the microwave for 55 seconds, they were done.  She likes spreading the Miracle Whip on her sandwiches so this was something she enjoyed doing.  She very carefully spread a thin layer on her sandwich and then devoured it.  My oldest wasn't as big on the idea because for a change, she wasn't hungry but I could tell she was interested!


I had to venture out a little further than normal as not all Walmarts carry Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches.   Here is a store locator to see if your local Walmart has them.

Getting in Shape with HOTPANTS Review

The new year is approaching and are you ready?  I started out my pre-New Year's Resolution back in October and to date, lost 16 pounds!  I did most of it via counting calories and exercising.  When I did exercise, I tried out the new HOTPANTS.  Straight across the ocean from London, the latest exercise wear sensation are comfortable designed sports shorts that contain bio-ceramic technology.  What does that mean?  They emit far infrared rays and reflects back the heat naturally generated by the body to deliver warming up of tissue deep below the skin's surface.


These bio-ceramics emit far-infrared rays that promote deeper warming of tissue and a breakdown of fat cells.  This leads to higher levels of perspiration which promotes a "flushing out" of toxins and edemas that contribute to the appearance of cellulite.  They are not restrictive like many other types of exercise gear and are very comfortable.  They can be worn over clothing or under clothing so they are perfect to wear all day especially if you are SAHM.  I can definitely vouch that they work and that after wearing them, my skin was wet from perspiration.  It's not a great feeling but losing those pounds certainly is!  I can't say that they did work conclusively as I did incorporate a regiment of calorie counting and exercising but I can say that it didn't hurt!  I felt better wearing them knowing that there was an increase in heat being generated.




Perspiration is good as it does in fact release toxins in the body so that was a big draw for me.  I recommend HOTPANTS if you want to start getting healthier!

Zarbees: Treating Colds and Coughs Naturally

Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: cid:image002.jpg@01CCBF2B.9347D8C0




If you are like me, you don't know really where to turn when your child gets a cough or a cold due to the all the information from the FDA and the recalls.  It's scary business and when it comes to children, you don't want to take a chance.  Every year, hundreds of children are either poisoned or die due to over the counter cough and cold medications.  Due to changes with labeling, most if not all medications have a warning not to give to a child under the age of four.  This makes it difficult if you are the parent of one of those children under the age of four.

My now four year old was one of those coupled with the fact that she has an unknown pulmonary issue that almost led to her death when she was a little over one, it's hard finding something to treat her that is safe for her.  This is why I like all natural medications such as Zarbees.  It contains no Dextromethorphan or other drugs and only has all-natural, gluten-free remedies.  No alcohol or dyes which I also prefer.  Since I just learned of Zarbees, I will have to give them a try the next time one of my children comes down with a cough or cold.

About Zarbee’s:

The fastest-growing children's cough and cold brand in the country, Zarbee’s is proven safe and effective for children 12 months of age and older. Developed by Dr. Zak Zarbock, one of the country’s top pediatricians, Zarbee’s products—a children’s cough syrup with a special blend of honeys fortified with immune-boosting vitamins that is also safe for women who are pregnant or nursing and a nighttime drink that soothes coughs and promotes healthy sleep—are recommended by more than 40,000 pediatricians nationwide. Zarbee’s products are all natural and gluten free, contain no drugs, alcohol and dyes, have no side effects and carry no risk of overdose.  Zarbee’s All-Natural Children’s Cough Syrup and Zarbee’s Nighttime Cough & Sleep Drink each retail for a suggested $8.99 and may be purchased at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Kmart, Kroger, Winn Dixie, Albertsons and Meijer stores nationwide as well as on www.zarbees.com.

Perricone MD Giveaway ($150 Item or Less) 1/11 (US Only)

Are you fighting aging as much as I am?  I do not like it and I try to take care of my skin.  I wished I had known how important it was to pamper my skin when I was younger and I express that to my oldest who is 23.  She shrugs me off probably as I would have my own mother but nonetheless, I can always quip, "I told you so!"  Well, I might not say it so mean rather more sympathetic.  One of the places I have turned to in the past and still do is Perricone MD.  I have purchased products in the past but I was able to try out a complimentary product recently and love it.  There is another product that I want to try to reduce the appearances of creases in my forehead and neck area.  


Acyl-GlutathioneAcyl Glutathione cream has over 100 wonderful reviews.  You can even watch actual customer reviews.  It reports that it dramatically reduces the appearance of creases, improves papery-thin skin texture and restores the natural radiance of youthful skin.  If you are a bit older like I am, you might remember those mornings waking up with glowing skin in your younger days and I long for that.  This sounds like the perfect product!  I have not tried it but based on the reviews I have read, it is something I would try.  


Perricone MD has a variety of products to help gain a healthy life to include skin care products and supplements.  What I also like about Perricone MD is how Dr. Perricone reaches out to his customers and provides useful information in achieving what we may want in our health and skin care. I love the interactions and for that, I was originally drawn to the Perricone MD line of products.  This is why I'm excited to share another giveaway to my readers of one product $150 or less!

Guilty Pleasures of Re-watching Movies

Do you have those movies that you watch over and over again?  Are they movies you watch a certain time of the year like It's a Wonderful Life?   I have a set for different times and I've become a huge fan of movies adapted from Jane Austen novels.  One of my favorites is not an adaptation rather an compilation of what could have happened when Jane met Tom Lefroy called Becoming Jane.  Perhaps it's because I think James McAvoy is not too bad looking helps to enhance the story but Anne Hathaway does a great job playing Jane.  I also have been taken with the Kiera Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice, Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.  I also enjoy Young Victoria and think that Emily Blunt did an amazing job playing Queen Victoria and Rupert Friend plays Albert.  It's a great love story.


At Christmas, I enjoy The Family Stone which is a good comedy with Sarah Jessica Parker and her bad experiences one Christmas at the man who is about to propose.  I also like watching the Winona Ryder version of Little Women.  There are a couple of others but I cannot remember.  I was disappointed as Time Warner didn't show It's a Wonderful Life unless I missed it somehow.  Why I don't have the movie is beyond me!  Luckily, I have all those old Christmas cartoon classics that my oldest despises compliments of Warner Brothers.


What's your guilty pleasures when it comes to movies that you watch over and over again?

Uncommon Life by Tony Dungy Review & Giveaway 1/14


uncommon-life-cover
I received a complimentary copy of the book The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge co-written by one of my all time favorite coaches, Tony Dungy.  It was also written by Nathan Whitaker.  The jest of the book is a daily challenge to be read no matter when you start to read the book.  Tony has been part of a Bible study for the last fourteen years along with another group of coaches.  They read The One Year Bible and no matter where they were, they were only a quick e-mail, voice mail or phone call away.

The way the book reads, you focus on seven themes that repeat each week:
  1. Core
  2. Family
  3. Friends
  4. Potential
  5. Mission
  6. Influence
  7. Faith
Each devotional includes a scripture and an uncommon key which is an action to implement based on what you just read.  It's really a good way to start each day or even end each day pending the time you have to devote.  They also preach to not to worry if you miss a day as you just pick up where you left off.

Here is a video from Tony:


I just started reading The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge and love it already.  I'm grateful to Tyndale House Publishers for the chance to review this book.  I jumped to December 25th to start my Uncommon Challenge as I didn't receive the book until December 24th.  The devotional was spot on and stated that kids watch us and mimic our actions more than our words often times so the way I interpreted it was, ensure your actions are just as Godly as your words in order to raise good, polite children.  I can't wait to read each devotional and learn and improve myself.

 Tony Dungy was the very successful coach of my favorite team the Indianapolis Colts.  His brother is married to a former colleague of mine and she expressed what a wonderful person he is in person as he appears on television.  I've always heard that he never yelled at his players and always commanded the utmost respect from all.  I've never heard an ill word mentioned about him nor from his words.  When offered the opportunity, I jumped.

Now you can win a copy too!   Just complete the Rafflecopter form below.

The Tough Jewelry: Black Titanium Rings


Squared Titanium Ring with Deep GroovesI was just looking at my rings that are made of white gold and am disappointed in their appearance.  They are already scratched and have a worn appearance.  It's the one thing I dislike about gold.  I should have switched to titanium when I first heard of it.  It's a metal that doesn't tarnish and doesn't interact with a person's unique body chemistry such as allergies, irritations and discolorations.  I bought a titanium ring years ago but never thought about purchasing another one until I saw these black titanium rings.  If my father wore rings, I would pick this Titanium Squared Top Ring with Two Thin Grooves but with the brushed center.

Finding gifts can be difficult but finding one that can last a long time and can be passed on to the next generation can be next to impossible.  That's why I like the idea of the titanium bracelets and rings.  There are different grades of titanium as well:
  1. Aircraft Grade
  2. Extra-hard 
  3. Commercially Pure
The nice thing with titanium, you can change the look you want by selecting black rubber inlays, stones, hammered appearance, inlaid or classic. They are versatile and can appease almost any taste.  I also like that there are wedding bands available.

Renovating Idea with Vessel Sinks



Goldfish Swimming Glass SinkMy sister has been renovating a home they bought and are working on the bathroom.  I renovated a bathroom awhile ago but it was only for the faucet and handle components.  I was trying to find some unique designs for her and found these vessel sinks that would be perfect!  I'm always drawn to fashion and functionality or in the case of a vessel sink, unique and functional.  A house's decor shows a lot about the owner's style and attention to detail.  Whereas some prefer standard equipment, I opt for something that gives a wow effect.  From the sink to the faucets, we have so much more variety today.

Vessel sink faucets are unique in that they are available in bamboo, classic, modern and vintage.  There is something for everyone.  I personally like the brushed nickel appearances for the sake of repelling water spots and the ease of cleaning.  Another style I like are waterfall type faucets.  I was traveling years ago and experienced one of those faucets and fell in love with it!  I look forward to the day when I can renovate or even build my own custom home.

Shameless Season 1 & Season 2 Premiers 1/8

A product thumbnail of Shameless: The Complete First Season

Have you caught the newer series Shameless yet with William H. Macy?  It's a story about a father, Macy, who drinks too much and doesn't work while his five kids fend for themselves.  Of course, the ages range so that there is at least a parental figure as Macy shamelessly gets by in life.  Shameless in the first season had many moments that were .... well....shameless.  If you are a fan, you may know what I'm talkinga bout and maybe have an I-Never moment as well.  Whether you are a show regular or are interested in learning more, now you can join in with others for the I-Never Challenge where you can watch various clips from Season One and decides if you would admit or deny that you have done something similar.


The clips in the I-Never Challenge include some of the funniest and wackiest scenes from Shameless as well as some that might make you cringe.  Dressed in Drag was unexpectedly funny but you don't want to watch around kids!  Some of the other challenges might leave you reminiscing about your past or others you might know.  Either way, take the challenge and challenge your friends as you never know what you might learn about them!


If you are new to Shameless, you will get to learn more about the Gallaghers and don't forget to tune in for Season 2's premiere on Sunday, January 8th at 9 pm (ET-PT) on Showtime.  If you can't wait, good news as Season 1 is available on DVD and Blu-Ray!

Shabby Apple Nothin' Like a Dame Dress Giveaway (~$70 Value) - US Only 1/7

Shabby Apple: great dresses that make dressing simple.


Just because Christmas is nearly here, there is a new year around the corner and what better way to ring it in then a new women's dress from the Shabby Apple?  Whether you might be going to a party, going on a cruise, preparing for Valentine's Day as it's really not that far away after this giveaway is over or you just want to feel pampered and fabulous, this is the giveaway for you!  Shabby Apple has an entire selection of flirty, stylish dresses for women, by women and of women.  They know what we want which is to look feminine and beautiful regardless of where we might be or have to go.


There is a great selection for the holidays that I just can't decide which is my favorite:


Sometimes an occasion calls for a little extra measure of drama and glamour. Whether it's a holiday fête or a red carpet affair, answer the call in the luxuriously opulent Premier dress.  Stitched from stretch taffeta with just a hint of sheen in a body-conscious, fitted sheath shape with slim three quarters sleeves, this sleek dress drips with 1930s starlet sensuality.   The broad collar can be worn draped over your shoulders, or stand it up for a coy air of mystery. Minimalism is so en vogue these days, and The Movies dress takes the basic Little Black Dress back to the era of sixties starlets.  This fitted sheath falls just at the knee, sports elbow-length sleeves and a boatneck—creating a blank canvas for your imagination to run wild.  Spice it up with those color-block platforms you've been eyeing or a cocktail hat that would make Kate and Pippa proud. Basics never go out of style, and the L.A. boasts a classic cut that will have you reaching for it again and again.  Pin tucks at the bust and full cap sleeves drop into a nipped waist and a fitted silhouette that is oh-so-flattering.  Let your imagination run wild accessorizing this classic sheath through the seasons: patterned tights and pumps in the winter and a bright billowy scarf next summer?  Yes, please!


One lucky winner will receive this gorgeous Nothin' Like a Dame dress (retails $78)!  It's a beautiful dress and it can be easily worn on the beach, at home, at a party or at work.  It's one of those dresses that is versatile while accentuating a woman's beauty.

Mamavation Monday: Slumber Party

MamavationAnother Mamavation Monday and boy do they come along fast!  I forgot what week we're on but I always keep the sistas in mind when I contemplate making a bad choice.  I've written before about how I instilled the help of my family in a weight loss challenge to get us all ready for a family reunion in July.  So far so good!  I can state that this year, I beefed up a bit as that's because I'm a stress eater and it's been a stressful year.  I have lost 25 pounds in 2011.  Since I started my weight loss challenge with my family which coincided with this segment of Mamavation Mondays, I've lost 15 pounds and I couldn't be happier.


I've used Dukan Diet, Atkins Diet, calorie counting and finally ended up with Slim-Fast.  I like Slim-Fast because it helps me to count calories with convenience yet I can opt for healthy snacks and meals.  It's the best of both worlds for me.  I've also started running in addition to biking so that should also help.


This week on Mamavation:

What is your biggest achievement of the year?
My biggest achievement this year was turning my children into health conscious little ones.  With my goal to getting healthier, I incorporated changes that fed into them.  Now they ask for salads and sometimes, they ask for apple slices and milk in their rare Happy Meals.  My eight year old turns down soda and is aware of eating healthy versus any image type issues (i.e. getting fat).  For that, it's my biggest achievement.  I have to say that is Leigh's influence for all the scolding she has done on my posts in the past about healthy losing weight versus bad losing weight (smile).

Scrolls from Santa: Worth Every Penny!


Scrolls From Santa




Thinking of sending a letter from Santa to those on your nice and naughty list?  I always look for something special and unique every holiday to dazzle my children and I think this will do the trick.  A scroll letter from Santa himself delivered in this cute candy cane delivery box with a detachable ornament, Rudolph bands and the choice of Christmas glasses, snow, coal and reindeer collars that are adorable.  Scrolls from Santa are just plain cute!



Rudolph Bands Lump of coal Insta-Snow Powder 

Reindeer Collars Set of Six Christmas Glasses


What an adorable package for your children to receive for Christmas!  I received a code to create one scroll in the deluxe package and although I have not received it as I ordered it a few minutes ago, I wanted to share this because it's so cute.  I was so taken by the ease of the process, the options to add stocking stuffers and more that I bought another one because I just can't send one to only one of my children right?  I will say that they tend to be costly after shipping but given what you are receiving and the special nature of the present, it's well worth the cost.  If you use JOLLY10, you might score a 10% off discount.  I found that on another blogger's post that is only good for the first 50.


Here are my pictures and I can tell you that they are worth the cost!  The glasses make the lights look light gingerbread men and other shapes, the bracelets are the "in-thing" and the scrolls are nice done on wooden scroll rods.  The tube comes from the North Pole and has an ornament on top.  My girls loved them!









Here are some more pictures to give you an idea how precious these are:


One-of-a-kind authentic North Pole stamps & postmark 


Authentic Santa handwriting and signature complete with gold seal
